Top of the Class (nearly) (Tom Gates #9) by Liz Pichon offers a humorous and insightful glimpse into the world of school life and the challenges of trying to excel.

TIPS FOR BEING TOP OF THE CLASS (Sadly... I did NONE of these things.)

1. Stay awake in lessons (it helps.)

2. Don’t draw HILARIOUS pictures of your teachers.

3. AVOID the class bully to stay out of trouble.

4. Don’t let Mum and Dad write ANYTHING in your school planner.

5. Don’t let your grumpy sister Delia BOSS you around. (Technically not a school issue—but still important.)

I’m TRYING to get voted onto the school council as well—but thanks to the ABOVE list it’s not exactly going to plan.
